IN v OF LINCOLN.
A Pennsylvania Republican Favors the
Young Man.

A@A H4a29.~5
PIrTsBURG, Penn, July 2s.-An eve
ming paper has asked its republican read
ers to send in their presidential preferen-
ces. Several thousand nswer have been
received, and the total will reach 25, 600.
A large number name Robert Lincoln as
first choice. The following answer wa re-
ceived from the loading republican OF
Braddock:
beyond doubt Mr.. Lincoln possesses
all the necessary qualifications. He is
honest, he is capable, upimpeachable,
trustworthy, the worthy son of a worthy
sire. His nomination by the republican
party should put an end to fractional
fights, and gum for the nominee the
united support Of the party. With Rob
ert L. Lincoln as the standard bearer
there would be. no explanations to make,
no excuses to offer concerning the record
of the man at the head of the ticket. 1t
is true that his public experience has not
been wide nor varied; but during the
time that he was a servant OF the gov
eminent he demonstrated the fact that
he is honest and able. He is not a pro-
f~essional politician; he has never been
charged with employing trickery to adj
vance political ambition. He is a quiet,
modest, unassuming citizen of our repub-
lie, a worthy man, and the people could
make no mistake by calling him to the
first office in the gift OF the nation.

received stating that young Mark Simp-
son had shot himself In the head on a
farm near Carl Junction, Mo. The In

Discussing tile Land RIM.

LONDON, July 28.-Tn the house OF
commons DR.. O'Doherty, on behalf Of
Mr.. Parnell, moved to limit to three
years the clause in the land bill substi.
tuting a written notice of eviction on the
ground that this was only required .by
the bill until the land purchase bill could
bs passed. This amendment was de.
clined by Mr. Balfour, chief secretary fol-
Ireland, whereupon Mr.. Dillon said that
as the bill was only a temporary one tbs
lause depriying tenants OF the small
fragments of the rights reserved fo1
them under the act of 1860 ought not to
be permanent and asked whether the
government would accept an amend
ment, securing for the tenant undis.
turbed possession between the time OF
serving the notice. and the time of re.
demption.
MIR. Balfour answered that the govern.
ment would consider ~fayorably an amend.
ment granting a slight delay between the
serving OF its notice of eviction and its
execution, thus giving the tenant time to
turn around and thereby preventing the
appearance of hafshness on the part OF
the landlord.
Mr.. T.sW. Russell, liberal supported
the clause and said it would stop quarter
eyictions and prevent scandals. Mr..
Healy denied this and said Mr.. Russell's
argument was a hollow sham and lying
pretence. The chairman Instructed Mr..
Healy to restrain his language. Mr..
Healy further said he would rather the
bill be lost than have the clause retained
as 1T would increase evictions a hundred
fold.
Mr.. Shaw Lefeyre said the clause was
likely to lead to abuses. Mr.. ParnelI
urged the postponement of the clause un-
til the clause dealing with the powers OF
courts to settle eyictions should be de-
cided on. He did not agree with the
persistent opposition of Mr.. Healy, but
rather preferred to defer final Judgment
upon the clause until he could balance
the risk of losing the bill altogether
against the undoubted risks to which the
clause would subject tenants. This
chairman ruled that the amendment
could not be further postponed and upon
a division it was rejected by a vote of 15e
against 212.
